Currently, U.S. corporations exporting products into other countries pay corporate taxes in those other countries. For many corporations, cash builds up on their balance sheet and remains in a bank in the foreign country. Corporations would like to send their cash back to the "mother ship" in the United States. Current tax law would tax that "repatriation" of cash as a second set of profits. Is this second taxing a good idea or a bad idea? If it remains in place, what is the effect on consumers, workers, and firms?

What incentive exists for the foreign country to increase its tax rates if the United States taxes foreign income when earned? What incentive exists for a foreign country to lower its tax rates if a foreign subsidiary earns income in one year but is taxed in a later year when the income is repatriated to the United States
